Often, when are sons are in the midst of a rollicking game (often involving an imaginative world of stuffies and legos and a yoga-mat-as-naval-vessel and running amok in our apartment) one of them will yell: “pause game!”
Maybe the energy was too high. Maybe one boysensed that they were out of sync. But the call is always heeded by the other and they take a moment to recalibrate.
In all instances, the pause enhances the play.
This is also true of our lives. Be it sabbath or a daily period dedicated to not doing.
Pausing is what makes our life and work fruitful, enjoyable, possible.
